Good morning, friends.<\/strong> We start the week with a news well packed with M&As and privatization. Our biggest story of the day is the National Service Projects Organization\u2019s (NSPO) handing a 10% stake in 172 Wataneya gas stations to Taqa Arabia. The deal parks the stations in an IPO-bound vehicle, but NSPO still retains a 20% cross-holding in Taqa.<\/p>\n

Also in today\u2019s issue:<\/strong> Abu Dhabi\u2019s AD Ports is bumping up its mandatory tender offer for Alex Containers to EGP 27.47 per share.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile<\/strong>, the education sector is seeing a flurry of activity, with the Egypt Education Platform readying a 25% float on the EGX and the National Bank of Egypt picking up a 20% stake in the Egyptian Alliance for Education.<\/p>\n

Lowering the hurdle<\/p>\n

<\/a> The government is fast-tracking corporate formation by introducing a temporary eight-month tax card<\/strong>, according to a draft law seen by EnterpriseAM. The draft legislation \u2014 which implements World Bank recommendations \u2014 allows new companies to speed up their establishment and licensing procedures. The bill sets a legal deadline for settling any tax liabilities accrued during this eight-month window.<\/p>\n

Why it matters:<\/strong> Easing entry barriers is a critical benchmark for the country\u2019s ongoing IMF reviews<\/a> and a condition for the USD 1 bn in concessional financing unlocked by the World Bank in May<\/a>. By decreasing the hurdles to formalizing, the government is trying to coax the informal economy into the light to hit its target of increasing annual tax revenues by 1-2% of GDP<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The catch:<\/strong> The draft law prohibits companies from using the card to conduct actual commercial operations or taxable transactions until their permanent licenses and final tax cards are secured. The bill also kills the bookkeeping exemption for businesses under EGP 500k in turnover, forcing micro-businesses directly onto state e-invoicing platforms. Additionally, the relaxed 12-month grace period GAFI previously promised<\/a> new businesses has been slashed to eight months.<\/p>\n

\n

Zafarana allocation to join sukuk program<\/p>\n

<\/a> A new Zafarana land allocation is set to expand the Finance Ministry\u2019s asset pool for its local sovereign sukuk program<\/strong>, a senior government official tells EnterpriseAM. The allocation follows the launch of the government\u2019s EGP 200 bn local sukuk program last year, which was backed by land<\/a> in the Red Sea\u2019s Ras Shukeir area.<\/p>\n

Why it matters:<\/strong> Sukuk are becoming a more permanent part of the government\u2019s funding toolkit. These instruments help the FinMin widen the investor base for public debt \u2014 particularly among Islamic banks and shariah-complaint investors \u2014 while pricing below conventional debt, the official tells us. New sukuk backed by the Zafarana plot could carry yields around 3-4 percentage points below traditional debt instruments. Early local sukuk issuances from November 2025 have already drawn strong demand<\/a> from banks and have given the ministry a funding route cheaper than some conventional instruments. <\/p>\n

This is not a land sale \u2014 the state is keeping the deed. <\/strong>The structure grants investors usufruct rights to exploit the assets for the duration of the sukuk, but explicitly prohibits transferring or selling the land, the source said. The Finance Ministry retains absolute ownership of the underlying assets, using them strictly as a guarantee.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next:<\/strong> The Finance Ministry is expected to set a new timetable for sukuk issuances in FY 2026\/27, with plans to diversify maturities beyond the three-year structure that has dominated the program so far. Five-year sukuk and other tenors are expected to be added as part of the Finance Ministry\u2019s broader structural overhaul to lengthen the average maturity<\/a> of public debt to 4.5-5 years and break the cycle of short-term refinancing, the official adds.<\/p>\n

\n

Smooth sailing<\/p>\n

<\/a> Indirect transit shipments are getting another six-month exemption from mandatory registration under the Advance Cargo Information (ACI) system<\/strong>, the Customs Authority said in a statement<\/a>. The ACI exemption was initially launched in March<\/a> as a structural bypass for Gulf transshipments caught in the Hormuz supply chain squeeze.<\/p>\n

Why it matters:<\/strong> The latest extension widens the facility to include six East African nations \u2014 Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Djibouti, and Ethiopia \u2014 key states for Egypt\u2019s maritime and port infrastructure. Egypt recently signed agreements to develop a regional logistics center in Djibouti\u2019s Khor Ambado Freezone<\/a> and has planned a logistics corridor<\/a> connecting Tanzania and Rwanda.<\/p>\n

PSA- <\/p>\n

Bankers are getting a long weekend too: <\/strong>The Central Bank of Egypt announced<\/a> that local banks will join the rest of the country in taking Thursday off for the Islamic New Year. Normal banking hours resume Sunday, 21 June.<\/p>\n

WEATHER- <\/strong>The weather is a bit cooler in Cairo today, with a high of 34\u00b0C and a low of 23\u00b0C, according to our favorite weather app.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s several degrees cooler in Alexandria<\/strong>, with a high of 28\u00b0C and a low of 20\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

You can survive a bad investment, but you cannot undo a severance package you never negotiated.<\/p>\n

You're at the stage where the questions have shifted: who gets what, whether your estate survives you intact or gets tied up in courts, whether you exit on your terms or let timing decide for you.<\/p>\n

Retirement isn't a finish line but a structure problem, and most people get it wrong. It's not because they ran out of money but because they never asked the right questions at the right time.<\/p>\n

In the final issue of EnterpriseAM Money Matters<\/strong>, we cover the decisions that define how you exit: estate planning under Egyptian law, what to actually ask your lawyer before you step back, how to read a severance package, when phased retirement makes financial sense \u2014 and when cashing out your options is the smartest move you'll make this decade.<\/p>\n

The big story abroad <\/p>\n

Next stop: Mars. <\/strong>SpaceX\u2019s blockbuster IPO and CEO Elon Musk\u2019s new status as the world\u2019s first tn\u2019aire dominated the front pages over the weekend and continue to do so this morning. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how day 1 of trading went: <\/strong>SpaceX made its debut on the Nasdaq<\/a> on Friday after raising USD 75 bn in its IPO, overtaking Saudi Aramco for the title of the largest IPO in history. Shares ended the day up 19% at USD 160.95 apiece, pushing the company\u2019s valuation to over USD 2 tn. <\/p>\n

Meet the richest man alive: <\/strong>The company\u2019s public debut pushed Musk\u2019s net worth to USD 1.1 tn, making him over three times richer than second in line Google co-founder Larry Page. A USD 1.1 tn fortune once seemed unimaginable within our lifetime, with the first fortune exceeding USD 100 bn<\/a> registered less than a decade ago.<\/p>\n

Several outlets are out with interesting pieces worth reading on the matter<\/strong>, including the Financial Times\u2019 AI is Revolutionising the Stock Market<\/a> and Bloomberg\u2019s Why Musk Raced to Take SpaceX Public in the World\u2019s Biggest IPO<\/a>, which puts the timing of the move into perspective \u2014 before the US midterm elections and dominating the scene before OpenAI and Anthropic move forward with their planned listings. <\/p>\n

And speaking of Anthropic: <\/strong>The company behind Claude suspended<\/a> all access to two of its AI models \u2014 Fable 5 and Mythos 5 \u2014 in response to a directive from the US government, which ordered the startup to block the models from any foreign nationals. The company said the government believes there is a \u201cjailbreak\u201d that can bypass Fable 5\u2019s safeguards, potentially allowing the model to be used for identifying software vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

The latest war update: <\/strong>US President Donald Trump last night said<\/a> that a US-Iran agreement to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz will \u201cget signed tomorrow.\u201d According to him, the waterway will be \u201copen to all\u201d immediately after the agreement is signed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
